Michel Foucault

People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is what what they do does.

I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.

Where there is power, there is resistance.

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?

Knowledge is not for knowing: knowledge is for cutting.

I'm no prophet. My job is making windows where there were once walls.

I don't write a book so that it will be the final word; I write a book so that other books are possible, not necessarily written by me.
